Written and directed by series co-creator Trey Parker, it originally aired in the United States on December 13, 2000 on Comedy Central.
An unclear amount of time passes, and a visiting couple, Mark and Linda, enter "Smiley Town", and find a mechanic shop run by Butters and Craig.
Cartman tells them to retrieve a book from "The Provider"(a statue of John Elway), and are captured by the kindergartners, who take them to Treasure Cove to meet Stan and Kyle, who are in charge.
Stan and Kyle explain the town's story, and that whichever group does not have the book by sundown must sacrifice one of their members to "The Provider" at a strange ritual called "Carousel".
The parents return, believing they were cured of nonexistent "sick urges," while the children resume normal activities.
